One platform.
African markets.
Built for each.
Africa runs on different currencies, different tax codes, and different labour laws in every country you cross. PeopleQore was built to know the difference. Run payroll in local currency, stay compliant with local rules, and grow your team across borders without learning six new systems.
Where we operate today
🇳🇬 Nigeria · 🇬🇭 Ghana · 🇨🇮 Côte d'Ivoire · 🇸🇳 Senegal · 🇰🇪 Kenya
African markets live. More on the way.
How the countries differ
Same continent. Six different rulebooks.
A payroll run in Lagos isn't a payroll run in Nairobi. PAYE rates change. Pension structures change. Statutory funds change. Currencies change. PeopleQore handles each market on its own terms, because anything less means errors, fines, and unhappy employees. Here's what that looks like in practice across our top six African countries.
Nigeria
The home market.
Where it all started. Over ₦2 billion in salaries disbursed. Hundreds of employers. Built into the muscle of the product.
Ghana
The natural next step. English-speaking. Border-shared.
A growing economy with a clean regulatory environment. Easy bridge for Nigerian businesses expanding, and a strong standalone market in its own right.
Côte d'Ivoire
Francophone West Africa's commercial capital.
Abidjan anchors the region. A young, urbanising workforce. A growing economy. Built into PeopleQore with French-first design, not translation.
Senegal
Stable, structured, and increasingly a regional HQ city.
Dakar is fast becoming the seat for businesses that want a base across Francophone West Africa. Same currency as Côte d'Ivoire, same legal framework, different rulebook for social security.
Kenya
East Africa's tech and talent hub.
Nairobi runs one of the most sophisticated payroll environments on the continent. Complex, but well-documented, and PeopleQore is built for it.
South Africa
The continent's most sophisticated market. Approached with depth.
The toughest payroll jurisdiction on the continent, and the most rewarding once you get it right. We're entering carefully, with the right local expertise on board.
Currency integration
Pay your team in their own currency. Every time.
Every salary on PeopleQore runs in the currency of the country it's paid in. Nigerian staff get paid in naira. Ghanaian staff in cedi. Ivorian and Senegalese staff in CFA franc. Kenyan staff in shilling. South African staff in rand. No conversions on the employer side. No exchange rate guesswork. No "your bank rejected this transfer" surprises.
For businesses running teams across multiple countries, PeopleQore handles each payroll independently, in its own currency, against its own compliance rules. One platform. Six payrolls. Zero headaches.

The bigger picture
Africa is 54 countries. We pick our markets carefully.
PeopleQore isn't trying to flood the continent. We build country by country, and we only go live in a market when the platform handles it properly. Local compliance. Local currency. Local team. That's the rule. These six are where we are today. The next wave is already in build.
Wherever you are in Africa, start free today.
Pick the country. Add your team. Run payroll. We handle the rest.
